This day of the year is always a bit hard on me. The 4th of November 2010 was the day that turned out was going to change my life, completely. It was the day when I got hit from behind by a car and the day that the whiplash injury became a part of me.

It will always be a hard day for me. How can it not? It is the one day of the year when I get mad, frustrated, sad and heartbroken and the one day that I can’t help but to wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn’t been hit that day. Life is unfair. And yes, it could have been worse, but that doesn’t take away the fact that I’m always in pain.

I cannot deny that the injury gave me the courage to start ballet. It was that last push I needed. It was due to the injury that I realized that life is too short and that you never know what the future holds.

If you want to do something, don’t wait for a life changing moment. Do it while you can. Don’t think about what other would say or think. If you want something, do it.
